About:
MANORVILLE – Eastport-South Manor Sharks will open their football season with more than just a game on their minds. ESM will proudly take a stand for Childhood Cancer Awareness, dedicating their opening matchup to raising support and inspiring unity in the community.
In a powerful show of solidarity, the Sharks challenged East Hampton to join forces and “gold out” in the fight against childhood cancer. The day will not just be about football—it is about standing together for a cause bigger than any scoreboard.
ESM proudly supports the Bentley Foundation, created in memory of Manorville resident and ESM football player Bentley Kelley. The foundation works to provide assistance, spread awareness, and continue Bentley’s legacy of strength and courage.
The day will feature the full spirit of the Sharks family: football players, cheerleaders, the marching band, and the Sharkettes, all coming together to show that teamwork extends beyond the field.
“This is about more than football,” an ESM representative shared. “It’s about honoring Bentley, supporting families, and reminding our community that when we stand together, we win for the greater cause.”
For ESM and East Hampton, this opening game will not just be the start of the season—it will be the start of something bigger.
